CWA Method (Current Wave Shape Analysis)
The CWA method executes a wave shape analysis of the phase currents IA, IB, and IC. If all 3 phase currents
show flat areas at the same point in time, the inrush-current detection signal will be issued. This signal applies
for all 3 phases simultaneously. The following figure shows a typical inrush-current characteristic, with the
simultaneously occurring flat areas clearly recognizable.

Figure 7-130 Inrush-Current Characteristic
The following figure shows the logic diagram of the CWA method.
From the present fundamental-component current (1st harmonic), the threshold value for identification of the
flat areas is derived via an internal factor.
